The American Cancer Society of Fayette County will host the annual Relay For Life today.  Relay For Life is a fundraiser to raise money to fund research and development towards patient treatment and finding a cure for cancer. Teams of 10 to 15 people join together to raise money through pledges, selling homemade merchandise or food, or providing a service to those who participate in the night long event. Relay For Life is also about honoring those who have survived cancer and celebrating life with them. The event features cancer survivors as torch bearers, as honored guests, and gives them an opportunity to receive fellowship from other survivors. The public is welcome to attend. If you are interested in starting a Relay For Life team, joining and existing team, registering as a Survivor, or becoming a corporate sponsor, please contact Nychelle Williams, Senior Community Income Manager of the American Cancer Society, Fayette County at 770-460-8920.
